To Real Being we go back, all that we have and are; to that we
return as from that we came. Of what is There we have direct
knowledge, not images or even impressions; and to know without
image is to be; by our part in true knowledge we are those
Beings; we do not need to bring them down into ourselves, for we
are There among them. Since not only ourselves but all other
things also are those Beings, we all are they; we are they while
we are also one with all: therefore we and all things are one.
When we look outside of that on which we depend we ignore our
unity; looking outward we see many faces; look inward and all is
the one head. If man could but be turned about by his own motion
or by the happy pull of Athene- he would see at once God and
himself and the All. At first no doubt all will not be seen as
one whole, but when we find no stop at which to declare a limit
to our being we cease to rule ourselves out from the total of
reality; we reach to the All as a unity- and this not by any
stepping forward, but by the fact of being and abiding there
where the All has its being.
